"I'm dying to get back in front of the cameras. I miss it like crazy"
About this Quote
The subtext is less “I love my job” than “I want back into the conversation.” Cameras stand in for the whole infrastructure of being public: shoots, red carpets, interviews, the soft power of being a known face. For a musician - especially one whose peak era was defined by tightly managed pop stardom and tabloid proximity - the camera is both stage and scoreboard. You don’t just perform; you reappear.
Context matters here: Valance has moved in and out of the spotlight across music, acting, and public life, and the modern attention landscape punishes absence. The line lands because it’s simultaneously unapologetic and slightly defensive: an admission of craving, dressed up as enthusiasm. It’s a reminder that celebrity isn’t only about being seen; it’s about missing the version of yourself that exists most vividly when someone else is looking.
